Cafe du Cycliste Virginie Shorts

Cafe du Cycliste Virginie Shorts are built for riders who chase adventure—whether you're tackling rocky mountain trails or weaving through city streets. These MTB shorts are rugged yet refined, offering a technical performance fabric that combines a high-wicking, soft inner face with a durable, water-repellent outer layer. The four-way stretch material adapts to every movement, making them ideal worn over bib shorts or tights with a chamois—or on their own.

Key design features include an adjustable integrated belt for a personalized fit, a cargo pocket on the right thigh for essentials, and a discreet zipped pocket at the rear. Bonded hems minimize friction and enhance comfort when pedaling. Built for versatility, the relaxed fit allows freedom of movement without compromising style.
